Hemoglobin Pasadena,alpha 2 beta 275(E19)Leu leads to Arg. Identification by high performance liquid chromatography of a new unstable variant with increased oxygen affinity.

This report describes structural and functional characteristics of a new hemoglobin variant, Hb Pasadena [beta 75(E19)Leu leads to Arg] and illustrates the use of high performance liquid chromatography in the analysis of the substitution. As a consequence of this substitution, there is compensated hemolysis, instability, increased oxygen affinity, and reduced cooperativily. However, the health of the individual is hardly affected.

Evaluation of driving skills after brief exposure to nitrous oxide.

The driving skills of 10 dental students were evaluated on three occasions on a driving simulator after exposure to air and 50% and 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Errors increased after exposure to nitrous oxide and were statistically significant during the middle of the test period. Driving after short exposure to nitrous oxide appears inadvisable.

Comparison of sampling techniques for studies of nitrous oxide pollution.

The retention of nitrous oxide in samples of nitrous oxide in air held in disposable plastic syringes, glass syringes and custom-made nylon film bags was studied by means of gas chromatography at intervals of 90 min, 24, 48 and 120 h after filling the containers. After 24 h the nylon bags retained a mean concentration of 94.5% of the original concentration of nitrous oxide. The disposable plastic syringes and glass syringes were unsatisfactory and retained only 80% of the original concentration of nitrous oxide after 90 min. These values decreased to 51% and 31% of the original concentration of nitrous oxide respectively at 24 and 48 h.
